the romney tax thing, it does matter to regular folks because to your point, which i think is correct, everybody would like to have the money romney has. i think by revealing romney's taxes, for the first time, we have a conversation in the public about how you get to be that rich and mitt romney, it's not by working hard. his investment money that he pays way less taxes on. >> he's paid taxes on in the beginning, paid taxes on from the capital gains standpoint. my understanding, i'm not a tax expert, my understanding is, i hope that someone tweets this and really challenges me on this, is that romney and people that are of that wealth have paid taxes not once, twice, but three times on their money. what they're paying taxes on is they're paying taxes on the actual investments. now, to go back to your original point -- >> i just want to say, do you have time to tweet that? >> because i think this isn't a fair conversation we are having as a country. i think governor romney is feeding into this by not being transparent here. to suggest this man hasn't paid taxes, i don't think that's a

a press conference last night. >> this is the same message i give to people, which is we have a very different approach, the president and i, between a government dominated society and a society driven by free people pursuing their dreams. i'm talking about the process of campaigns. typically i don't talk about process in speeches because i think candidates are wiser to talk about policy. >> how will the past eight weeks of abysmal message management and seemingly nonexistent strategy play out for candidate romney. from bloomberg view -- mitt romney lost the election. from david brooks, mr. romney your entitlement reform ideas are essential but when will the incompetence stop? we don't know, david brooks, but one thing remains certain, this avalanche of errors has made the upcoming presidential edebates which begin two weeks from today not nearly crucial but critical. romney must deliver a super human performance to not only reverse the downward spiral of his campaign but cat ta put him to where he might win an election that is seven weeks away. we hope rob portman is one heck of a s

mitt romney doesn't seem to identify this as a major problem. in some ways he's, i think, ignoring the dangerous dynamic. >> and in difficulty of being the commander in chief, president obama was on television last night, charged by jose diaz-balart is the new egyptian government friend or foe, he said they're not an enemying but they're not an ally either. some people will say he's being too cautious. at the end of the day we don't know. these are all new governments, new regime, different interests. we look at reaction of the egyptian government to the violence at u.s. embassy, they waited 24 hours before saying anything, they haven't exactly strong armed those protesters. some of them have -- there's an encouragement of having a second day of protest but without the violence. >> president obama's approach to foreign policy is very different than george w. bush's, and it has one overriding benefit, he hasn't put americans in harm's way in volatile situations. he hasn't put boots of the ground. that said it doesn't make the problems of what hap
